Yamaha Quad Quad Bike
The real deal for adult first-timers. A Yamaha single-rider ATV on the open deep desert route of the Al Wadi Desert Reserve — automatic CVT, guided convoy, no boundary fence. A lead rider picks the line, you follow through unrestricted dunes. No driving license required. Age 16+. Price is per rider.
What is the Yamaha Quad Bike?
The Yamaha Quad is the step-up ATV in our Al Wadi fleet — one rider, four fat tires, automatic CVT and a 400cc petrol engine under the seat. Yamaha (a Taiwanese manufacturer) builds some of the most reliable recreational quads in the world, which is why we put it on the open deep desert route and not the fenced beginner loop. The thumb-throttle and hand-lever brakes are the same as the COBRA — the difference is the terrain under you.
A lead guide rides ahead on a Raptor and picks the safe line through soft sand, avoids hidden drops and sets the group speed to match the least experienced rider. You ride the guide's tracks, crest real dunes, stop for photos and — unlike the fenced track — actually get to feel the desert open up in every direction. No driving license is required because you are on private desert land, but we lift the minimum age to 16 for this route.
Price is per rider: available on request (30 min), on request (1 hr), on request (2 hr). Everything you need is bundled: helmet, goggles, fuel, briefing, lead guide and Ras Al Khaimah hotel pickup. Ready for more power? The Yamaha Raptor or Raptor Manual 700 CC is the next rung up.

Is the Yamaha Quad Right for You?
A quick gut-check so you pick the right quad the first time.
✓ Pick this if...
- ✓ You want real open-desert riding, not a fenced loop
- ✓ You're 16+ and reasonably confident on a bicycle or motorbike
- ✓ You want a balanced first adult ride at a mid price (on request)
- ✓ You prefer automatic over manual clutch
- ✓ You like the idea of following a lead guide on a Raptor
- ✓ You want 1 or 2 hours — not just a quick 30-min taster
→ Skip this if...
- → You've never been on any powered vehicle — start on the COBRA (fenced)
- → You ride quads at home and want turbo power — try the Raptor Manual 700 CC
- → You're riding with a partner — see the Double Seater Quad
- → You're booking for under-16 — use the Kids Quad or COBRA
- → You want BBQ dinner bundled in — check combo packages
Open Desert, Guided Line, Zero Guesswork
The Yamaha is operated under the Dubai Department of Economy & Tourism (DTCM) licensing framework. Every unit is inspected before each session. Out on the open desert your safety net is the lead guide — they know every soft pocket, every hidden crest, every exit route — so you never point the quad at something you can't see the other side of.
Helmets and anti-sand goggles are mandatory. The group rides in a spaced convoy — far enough apart that nobody clips the rider ahead, close enough that the sweep guide at the back can see everyone. If anything feels wrong you raise your hand — the group stops, no questions. Most first-timers come off smiling and ask about upgrading to the Raptor next time.
What To Wear
- 👕 Light, breathable long-sleeve top (blocks sun and kicked sand)
- 👖 Long trousers or jeans (not shorts — sand at speed stings bare legs)
- 👟 Closed shoes — sneakers or trainers. No sandals.
- 🕶️ Sunglasses for the drive out (we also provide goggles)
- 🧴 Sunscreen SPF 30+
- 🧣 Light buff or scarf for nose/mouth in windy conditions
- 💧 Small water bottle (we also provide one)
- 📸 Phone in a zip pocket or strap (no selfie sticks during the ride)
